Human Hairs and spiders Threads,


Some of the most famous microsco-
pists have spent a good deal of time in
measuring and comparing human hairs
and spiders threads, It seems that the
size. As rule. the older the spider is
the larger is the thread he spins. But q
human hair Is about hundred times the
diameter of the largest spiders thread /;
SO that It would take something like ten
thousand of the threads spun by a full
grown sp'dcr-if they could be twisted
tosether-to make a thread equal in sic
to single hair. This is very wonderful,
but when we come to the finest webs
spun by young spiders, the wonder in
creas-s to degree almost beyond belief
1t Is sad that spiders begin to spin when
they are so small that it takes four hun
dred of them to equal in size one full
grown spider. The threads which these
minute creatures spin are corresp nd
ingly small-that is to say, the diameter
OF one of their threads is four hundred
times less than the diameter of full
grown spiders thread. Hence, as Lou
wonhoek. one Of the greatest microsco-
pists that ever lived, tells US, it takes
four m lions Of those minute threads to
equal in substance the size of human
hair. Furthermore, he says that each of
these minute threads is composed of
many filqments, and his discoveries so
overwhelmed him with astonishment
that he exclaimed; "Oi what incred-
ible minuteneSs is here, and how little
do we know Of the works of nature'

MAJOR II. Kyd Douglas, of Hagers-
town. in recent lecture said: "The
Southern soldier receives no price fol
his patriotism. No bounty, worthless
pay, little or no hope of pension, they
were driven to enlist by patriotism, con-
scription, or the pressures at home,
which drove them 10 the camp.
''for the last half of the war the Con
federates fought without pay. When
paid 81, 800 for a modest uniform that
was not worth more than $50 in gold.
and was offered 81, 500 for horse worth
Sl00-fair samples of prices at that
time-the Southern soldier in the ranks
was serving his country for less than
forty cents a month in gold. Those were
desperate and reckless days, and was
once witness TO game OF poker, after a
night supper, where one officer lost
$40, 600 in few hours, and paid it in
uncut sheets of Confederate notes.
ut was about that time that Confed-
crate cavalryman gave such emphasis to
our condition when he was offered s.. 600
for his sorry steed. Five thousand dollars
for this horser he answered, as he
proudly refined up his bony Bucephalus,
why, I gave 1000 this morning for
curying him
PAY day, irregular as it was, was
sarcasm and Jest, for when evening
came crowds of reckless soldiers would
gather around the camp fires, and tie
night would be filed laughter, as the
accumulated pay of months assed by
the ma ard Of ards from hand to hand.
There was no money for the soldier
to send home to his wife and children,
none worth keeping for them, for the
soldier knew it W ould be as worthless as
Continental scrip. The Treasury notes
were beautiful 10 look upon, but there
was nothing they would buy. They
were only good to gamble with.

Thermometers are called Fahrenheit,
or Reaumur. from the names of two
philosophers who first utilized those in
str ments. Gabriel Daniel Fahrenheit
was Lative of Dant ic, born In 1866,
and died in 1876. Rene Antoine Feu-
chault de Reaumur was born at Rochelle,
IN 1893. He was contemporary with
Fahrenheit, aud the principle difference
between their Thermometers is In the
method of noting the degrees. Fahren-
nett starts zero, according to his scale,
at thlrty-two degrees below the freezing
point OF water-an arbitrary idea, the
reason OF which cannot be successfully
explained. One suggestion is that, the
thermometer being experimental upon
Principally at Florence, it was not easy
to obtain great degree Of cold or heat as
sta ting point Fahrenheit has $50
degrees between the fixed points. Reau-
muir has but eighty degrees; so that
heaumur degrees, according TO numera-
non, donot seem to show the same heat
or cold which is marked upon a Fahren
hclt thermometer In Fahrenheit the
freezing point being thirty-two degrees,
the boiling point is 2l2 degrees, thus
showing $50 degrees between free ing
and boiling. In Reaumur the diff
ference between freezing and boiling is
only eighty degrees; so that a degree
lReaumuri is equal to two and n quarter
degrees Fahrenheit. A more sensible
thermometer than either is that of Gel
sius, OF Legden, invented in l742. which
gives loo degrees between freezing and
boiling. This is usually called the CEN
tigrade thermometer.

The Visitor Left in a Hurry.

A Boston Trarellcr correspondent
writes from Washington of the fight be-
tween the Willard brothers: Both are
immensely wealthy. C. C. Willard is
the proprietor of the Ebbitt House and

the Ebbitt House stands and the other
some twenty feet distant on the same

Willard. owns the lot between the two
pieces of property. 1t has been {. C.
Wizards aim for years to get hold of
this lot. He has tried all sorts of
schemes, but up to date he has not sue
cceded. Not great while ago suave,
business-like gentleman called upon Joe
Willard and stated that he was looking
for location to establish a candy manu-
factory. He was impressed with the F
street location and wanted to know if it
was in the market Joe Willard replied
that he would sell if he could get his
price. Then his visitor asked the terms.
Looking up and catching the business

GrlndIng CORN with ,he cob.

There is no little variance Of opinion
as 10 the ACCESSIBILITY Of doing this. Our
opinion Is that where there are facilitio.
ior grind ing corn and the cob together
ana where the ground feed is to be give:
70 cattle or horses, it is wise TO DO it
There Is really more nutriment in CO.
than generally supposed A competen
authority saws that il shows on analYs:,
1915 per cent. Of earbo -hydrates, Il Dc
cent. Of albuminolds aud the same
fat. Cobs lack heterogeneous elements
hence, if the deficiency can be supplied
bg other means. they are not so undesir
able as a food ration with corn. Som
writers claim that cobs thas ground anG
fed, have one half as much value as hay
Many object because there is an apparen
danger in feeding cracked 1obs. Wher
cob. aud corn are ground tine in burr
mill stones. the feed is in better con
ditiun 10 eater the animals stomac.
than when corn is ground iine alone
The luices OF the stomach can bette
penetrate tho food, and it is digested
better But let no one suppose thai
grinding cobs separately. Is here or ever
advocated. IN ~ endeni
